Washington Post: Redskins Training Camp Observations

[REDSKINS4ever]

Ryan Kerrigan was saying recently how he and Brian Orakpo had to go up against Trent Williams in practice. If that doesn't prepare Trent Williams for the better OLBs and DEs in the league then nothing will.

I would hope the 4th overall pick could cope with the 2 linebackers drafted later in their respective drafts. As long as he can slide left, with an occasional look to the inside, their not really that challenging for him. I would hope anyway. I would rather he practice against D. Ware.

Not trying to hate on the OLB's but he is supposed to be a badass himself.

You'd rather he practice against a 2005 11th overall pick than a 2009 13th overall pick?

Yes. D. Ware is better than Brian Orakpo. More specifically i was just trying to say that our starting left tackle should be better than our ROLB. His performance has a greater impact on the game, and he was drafted high because of it.

Trent Williams should be able to hold off Orakpo and Kerrigan simply because he's bigger and stronger than both of them. But going up against the two of them helps him prepare for the Trent Coles, Osi Umeyonoria's, Demarcus Wares of the NFL, then this is the type of push he needs.

How high was DeMarcus and Osi drafted? It doesn't always determine the pro-level success these guys have.

DeMarcus Ware was drafted 11th overall and Osi was 56th overall.
